Default colt delta 10MM

Finally got my Colt to the range today. I wanted to give it a whirl and its a great great gun. I am glad I got it. The 10MM is a blast to shoot too, lots of pep in that little guy. My first target pictured wasn't the best took me about 30 rounds to get a feel for it and the sight picture but not bad. It was at only about 5 yards.

The fun part I used my chrony for the first time. NO I didn't shoot it but man that is a really cool toy. I enjoyed shooting loads through it and seeing the truth about my reloads. I have some work to do. My 45 loads got to about 700fps with a 200gr load...that can be better for sure. The 10MM I got to 1100fps. In comparison the factory Hornady of the same gr got to 1450fps so I have so work to do there too. the chrony is a fun little device, I will really enjoy using that. I used my little rest, put the chrony on a tripod and put a target behind it so I knew where I was going with my shot. Of the 50 or so shots I have 4 that were error readings but the rest I got accurate numbers. I am glad I finally got a chrony. Some guy at the range wanted to try the chrony, I told him if had $100 cash in his pocket I would let him try it in case he hit it...he didn't want to try it anymore.
It was a good morning 45 degrees, no wind sunny and at the range what more could you want?!

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Glad you finally got to shoot the hand cannon. I really like that 10mm.

The 10 is a blast and one of my favorites (Colt Delta, Colt Delta Ten Lew Horton, DW #x of 150, 2 S&Ws, G29, G20, Ruger single action Buckeye, S&W DA M610).
